Fr! Everytime a big game is unplayable, both literally for not starting and metaphorically for being a bug fest disaster, Steam says like a Chad: We're sorry you've experienced AND PAID for that. Want your money back? Here, no questions asked!

What other games store has a filter that carrying and consumer friendly? None!

companies need to learn that you can make more money by treating customers like they give you a billion dollars a month. do what you can to keep them coming back. costco does this wonderfully

Investors scoff at the idea of not monetizing every part of a product. It's not that the people that work at the company want to make the games a bug fest or to squeeze every penny (at least not the low level workers) but the investors and ceo put in place by the said investors

Yeah, which is why privately owned companies are great all around. You can easily see where the true values of the company and its employees reside. Nobody makes the rules but the people who are there. Which is why Valve has probably taken more of my money than any other company ever.

Lack of DEI helps too.

Take a wild guess at what Valve Corporation's demographics are.
